I Live and Breathe

I Live and Breathe

I recall the signs and wonders
Of the sea charts wet and pale
And the ghostly mists of morning
Form perches touching sail
I remember feeling happy
In the great downpour of rain
And I want my feet to wrinkle
Like a raisin once again

I live and breathe forbidden seas
Where the floodgates of a wonder world
Swing open wide
And a thousand newborn feelings
Roll up with the tide
Oh, there’s magic in the waters
And the magic draws us all
From the land down stream and river
To the nearest harbor wall

With a bag cut out of carpet
And a spring inside my fate
I journey like a poet
In and out of heavens gate

We live and breathe
Forbidden seas
Oh, there’s magic in the water
And the magic draws us down
From the land upstream an driver
My dream can well deliver
Down to Nantucket, Nantucket town
